In this blog post we prepared monitoring http/s response times performance via WLSDM Back-End system monitoring features. URLs and URLConnections provide a relatively high-level mechanism for accessing resources on the Internet. Sometimes applications are require lower-level network communication, for example, when you want to write a client-server application.

This post will explain about CDNs, one of the most important components of the modern web applications. It’s the technology that allows the world’s most popular events to be brought to millions of viewers simultaneously. It’s what allows players of the wildly successful Fortnite game to compete with other players from all over the world.

Network blind spots study is framed within a field controlled by three well interconnected elements: monitoring, security and visibility.

When we think about WAN monitoring we usually start from the basics: the behaviour of remote communication links will directly affect the performance of our applications. Therefore, we understand that if traffic over the communications link experiences high levels of latency this will negatively impact the response time that our users observe when accessing the applications.

The concept “Wireless Monitoring” is quite broad. In fact, it covers all wirelessly instrumented communications platforms and the monitoring we can do on them. We are talking about everything from the short-range signal of a Bluetooth device to sensors connected to a wide area wireless network.

Chronically understaffed and constantly stressed-out IT Ops and NOC teams are overwhelmed by today’s IT noise. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can help these teams because ML (and AI) are exceptionally good at processing enormous volumes of very complex data in real-time, or near real-time, and surfacing actionable insights. But ML successes in IT Ops are still hit-or-miss.

When network hardware vendors issue device recalls, field notices, or security alerts, the implication can be massive for MSPs. Take the 2017 clock signal issue, for example. That huge recall of Intel microchips was a large-scale vulnerability for tons of devices—and meant MSPs had to figure out which devices were affected on which client sites.

Network TAP (Terminal Access Point or Test Access Point) is the most common hardware device used for network traffic capture purpose. A Network TAP is basically a hardware designed to access the traffic between two network nodes and mirror it into a monitor port where we can connect a third party Analysis tool to listen.

Just like the goblins, ghouls, and ghosts that’ll be walking down your street tomorrow night, network management can be scary. If you’re not a network expert (and don’t have one on your payroll), it can be intimidating to make changes to clients’ infrastructure for fear of taking the network down. Small actions can have a big impact.
